1997 Map of Northwest Atlanta

About this map

The Chattahoochee River carves a dividing line between Cobb and Fulton Counties in this late-nineties landscape, where industrial infrastructure meets established residential neighborhoods. The sprawling Inman Yard rail complex dominates the central corridor, signaling the area's role as a transportation hub, while the massive Lincoln Cemetery and Crestlawn serve as significant local landmarks. In the urban core of Atlanta, the presence of the Georgia Institute of Technology and the Georgia Dome reflect a modernizing cityscape. Educational institutions are densely packed throughout the quadrangle, ranging from The Lovett Sch in the north to Frederick Douglas High Sch in the south. Natural pockets persist amidst the development, including the Chattahoochee River National Recreational Area and Atlanta Memorial Park, showing the effort to preserve green space as the metropolitan area expanded.
